MICHIGAN -- A woman is recovering from a severe dog bite she received while holding a garage sale in Saugatuck.
The case was forwarded to the Allegan County Animal Control officer for further investigation, according to police.
The 36-year-old woman who is a resident of both Saugatuck and Chicago was having a sale on Grand Street on Sunday when a customer walked up with a German shepherd on a leash about 12:20 p.m.
The woman went up to pet the dog which then bit her in the face, causing extensive injuries, according to Sgt. Steven Kent of the Saugatuck Douglas Police Department.
The woman was being driven to Holland Hospital in a private vehicle but the driver stopped at Dunes View Kwik Shop, 6397 Blue Star Highway in Saugatuck Township, to call for help.
Members of the Saugatuck Township Fire District responded to assist the victim.
She was then taken to the hospital for treatment.
